Swollen After injection

**Team_XXL** · 03-18-2006, 06:24 PM

Ok i have no idea if this is where i post this..and you guys have probably heard this question a million times...but here it goes....I started my second cycle 3 weeks ago of 250mg of QV Test E and 300 mg of Univex Deca one cc of each and both at once in the same syringe...First injection was in the thigh sore for 3 days decided to go to the glute for the second no pain what so ever.. Now here is where it gets interesting...a buddy of mines gear was running late so he borrowed his first two weeks from me...my third injection was in friday and it was his gear which i noticed after the injection that his test was propionate 100mg/ml now today it is swollen and hurts like a son of a bitch....when i injected yesterday i poked aspirated and the first time there was a little drop of blood in the syringe so relocated same process and just an airbubble so i injected..very slowly of course...plus i took all the percationary messures cleaned everything with alc new syringe...Is this normal to hurt like hell and be swollen the size of a golfball?????

Prop is known to hurt a lot, Why did you take Prop instead of Test E, they are totally different esters, that was not smart bro !!

**Team_XXL** · 03-18-2006, 06:38 PM

i used my buddys prop because he used two weeks worth of my e so i would have fallen short if i didnt use his prop

**NoFaith068** · 03-18-2006, 07:26 PM

Propinate generally hurts more than most esters. It could be very normal swelling, keep an eye on it just in case. If you notice the swelling continues for a week or more see a doc and get a script to some antibiotics immediately.

Best of luck bro.

also another question i have is how much blood is ok in aspiration...is a little tiny drop in aspiration ok..when i aspirated on friday there was one litte drop followed by and air bubble

**brucecastle666** · 03-18-2006, 09:37 PM

same thing happens to me bro with test suspension and propi never happens with eq or deca or tren just test i wish i knew why bc it hurts like hell when i squat and lasts for at least 2 weeks and with no infection thank god. maybe it is just a reaction to test. bump for more insight

**Team_XXL** · 03-18-2006, 10:16 PM

i dont get hardly any pain from test e or the deca i am useing

**doghunter** · 03-18-2006, 10:52 PM

its normal for most all test e i have taken but it makes me wonder maybe is bullshit but which is it i know the test e i brew hurts like a bitch the only test e i have taken that didnt hurt and swell up was from a known fake source the swelling has alot to do with the thickness of the product i believe test e is a thick product and its slowly absorbed into your body so it swells prop is just a bitch not stating any facts here just my own thoughts

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 07:54 PM

OK got an update today when i woke up it is slightly bruised still swollen and kinda itchy...What can i do????

Test E isn't always in a thicker oil. It all depends on what type of oil the company or UGL decides to use in there solution. As for how long it takes to absorb into your body, that is ester dependant. The shorter estered propionate is much more noted for being a painful injection, where test e is usually pretty mild. If you are getting some test e from a ugl and it is painful, they most likely are using a higher concentration of ba than is neccessary.

As for the original post.........you can't use test e and test p interchangeably. That will completely throw your blood levels off. Not a smart idea.

The swelling will normally subside after 4 or 5 days.

ok guys now i am really worried it is red warm to the touch and has gotten bigger it has been two days since the injection

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:16 PM

Is it BRUISED? I had the same shit happen to me like two weeks ago, but it wasn't "golf ball" sized, but it was warm and itchy. Everything turned out ok though...

I think you'll be ok, just make sure there is no puss or anything..

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:17 PM

it is alittle bruised and it is more like a half tennis ball size

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:21 PM

Well, just keep an eye on it, like I said, look for puss. I think you'll be ok, mine calmed down on day 4.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:23 PM

should i go to the doc tomorrow just to be safe???

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:27 PM

ii injected in the upper outter part of my glute and it is swollen down past te bottom of my ass cheek

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:28 PM

If you want to, yeah. I didn't, but that was my choice. I usually always have a bump of some kind on my injection spots for about 3-4 days, I don't know about you? I haven't shot PROP yet, but maybe it really does hurt that much.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:29 PM

i always get a bump of some sort afterwards but never this big nor red and itchy

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:30 PM

Mine was similar, but not HUGE and not past my ass cheek, but more towards the outer middle.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:30 PM

see mine is going down the outter part of my thigh

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:31 PM

I don't know what else to tell you, that sounds exactly how mine was. None of my injection spots are ever red and itchy, but that one was. You'll be fine dude, but if you're that concerned, go to the doc.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:33 PM

i am sorry if i seem paranoid this is just my first time using test

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:35 PM

and warm to the touch is normal

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:35 PM

No dude, I understand. I was the same way. My test is a blend of cyp, deconate & enanthate and trust me, it HURTS! Like I said bro, I think you'll be ok, but it's your decision to see the doc or not.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:38 PM

if it is an infection what are the odd of my doc not perscribing anything because of what caused....also would that be considered a check up wondering if my ins will cover the visit

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:41 PM

also what can i do to make the swelling go down...heat ice advil aleve what

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:42 PM

I don't really know man, since I have never gone to the doc for that reason in particular. Hopefully someone who has will post the info.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:44 PM

and abou the swelling

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:51 PM

anything on how to lower the swelling

**NickHex81** · 03-19-2006, 09:53 PM

Heating pad.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:56 PM

damn the swelling is extremly f**king annoying i want it to go away more then anything

**velvetlion** · 03-19-2006, 09:56 PM

Heating pad is probably your best bet on the swelling. Usually you just have to wait it out. Make sure you aren't running a fever. If you are, might want to see a doc.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 09:59 PM

last time i checked last night it was 99.3 so no bad

**velvetlion** · 03-19-2006, 10:00 PM

Should be fine. Just keep an eye on it. These things can sometimes take up to a week or so to clear up. Yeah, it sucks, but comes with the territory at times.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 10:03 PM

so even tho the swelling is spreading it should be ok...also has anyone heard of univex???

**velvetlion** · 03-19-2006, 10:04 PM

The swelling may increase some, but should start to subside after 4 or 5 days.

**Team_XXL** · 03-19-2006, 10:07 PM

and if it is an infection it will still be treatable by meds that late in the game

Since I am not a doctor, I would be hesitant to answer that question. The key is to catch it while it can still be treated by oral anitibiotics. If you let it get too far, you run the risk of them having to cut it open and use iv antibiotics on you. I don't think that there is really a set time limit on it, you just have to make an eductated decision on your own as to whether you think that it is infected or not.
